Southern predictions

No thread?

I have a feeling that this is going to be a lot closer than people think. We should destroy these guys (Tulane beat them by 45 last year, and LaTech beat them by 47 in 2015) but knowing us we'll let them hang around. Won't be as bad as Alcorn in 2014 but I'm expecting a fight on Saturday.

USM 35, SU 21

Tiebreaker (attendance): 21,089

Re: Southern predictions

this game will be as bad as Hop wants it to be. if he has a soft spot for them bc they are a SWAC school, we will win by 30-40. if he hates them due to past bad blood, it will be a 60 point win if he wants.

Re: Southern predictions

Southern wins......Griggs has a horrible game. Cuban cannon transfers to FAU at halftime right after he gets Dilbert to cut a relief check for Irma recovery of FAU stadium. Howard's hands grow between the 3rd and 4th quarters prompting an NCAA investigation for PEDs.

It's the only way for people to stop talking about concessions, stadium paint and faulty ticket machine readers/low attendance.

In an unrelated story, Eastern Kentucky wins by 2 TD's.

"When Nugget II was found dead that cold December morning, Southern Miss had a serious problem on its hands. The handler who starved Nugget II is presumably still out there, his freedom bought for $2,000 from alumni coffers."

Heard on the eagle hour today that they were giving free refills on soft drinks Saturday. No wonder the lines were so long.

Re: Southern predictions

it will not be close. Bench will get playing time. Attendance will be better than last week just because it will not be 90+ degrees deal. It should be rather nice playing weather.

The weather isn't an excuse. Last Saturdays game may have pushed 90 but there was no humidity. Probably the best weather for an opening game I've EVER seen. It was nice out compared to most opening games. Usually it's so hot I have to bring 3 shirts.

I got some sun at the game so you're preaching to the choir but there are plenty of pussies in the Pine Belt when it comes to game conditions. I really think the holiday had more to do with it than the temps.
